past service cost

Can someone confirm if below is correct?

If a company implemented Defined Benefit plan today and also allocated past 5 years of service immediately,

The cost attributed to past 5 years will Go to OCI under GAAP and will get amortized.

And for IFRS it will be expensed immediately (reducing the Net income substantially for that year)

They implemented a plan today that is retroactive by 5-years? What employer does this and where do I submit my resume?!

You’re correct.

lol… you seem to have taken your break… :slight_smile:

Thanks… Finally I am getting things… Not too late :slight_smile:

Good to hear.

There are only 17 more study sessions to go, and more than a day to master them. wink

ha! Yea I took a nice chunk of time off to clear my head of seemingly endless frustration…

Wish you the best of luck this saturday on the exam!
